Before I buy gauges?

I have been seriously thinking about installing boost, EGT and pump pressure gauges. I am not sure if this is something that I should do myself or have them installed. Before I decide I was wondering if anyone knows of a link, page or wherever that shows installation instructions that I can view. Any help would be great.

http://www.dieselpage.com/gimain.htm<br><br>They are also a good place to buy the guages and mounts from. I have done a lot of businees with them and have had good experiences.

Here's some instructions for you. Don't let the title of the boost gauge install fool you, it mentions yours too.<br>I didn't find anything on the fuel pressure install, but several members have outlined it in previous threads. You might try a search, or probably someone will jump in...<br><br>Pyrometer Installation Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel<br>http://www.dieselpage.com/gipda.htm<br><br>Boost Gauge Installation Dodge Cummins Turbo Diesel 1991-1998 12 Valve (Intercooled)<br>http://www.dieselpage.com/gibdl.htm<br>

Something to consider- You may not want to spend the extra $ for the boost gauge line kit (if it doesn't come with your gauge), the supplied tubing may be too short depending on where you mount the gauges. &quot;A&quot; pillar, probably no problem. But I put mine below the radio and ash tray on the lower dash panel. I had bought 6' of 1/8&quot; air brake tubing at a local truck parts store and it was just barely long enough. Of course, I think about 5' is what comes in most kits. You might weigh the benefit of the fittings included, I had need of a 45* elbow and ended chasing all over town to find it. I used a bit more tubing because I wanted to run in through an existing grommet, not making any new holes in the firewall.
